Software Integration

In the digitalized world, companies use various IT systems, applications, and programs that may be fulfilling their roles very well separately, but only successful integrations allow them to reach their full potential. Software integration is key for correctly functioning information flows, especially in large enterprises. It lowers the maintenance costs, and even though it requires a larger amount of work at one point, from the economic point of view it is more cost-effective, as its result makes day-to-day work and business processes flow more smoothly. How to skilfully integrate IT systems? Our qualified IT engineers come to the rescue.

What is software integration?

Software integration, depending on the specific needs and requirements, usually consists of several stages.

Requirements should be analyzed, and the integration type determined, as the first step. IT specialists examine here what modules or software applications should be connected and whether there is a need to add further functionalities.
Then, the stage of designing the system architecture begins, during which the requirements concerning the performance or safety of data exchange should be kept in mind. The implementation of integration itself consists of designing and implementing a code of the right program.
Before the introduced changes reach the production stage, they need to be tested to ensure that the integrated IT systems have the best data exchange mechanism. In some situations, applying adjustments might be necessary.

Not all systems are easily unified, therefore the work of well-trained experts is crucial.

Successful integration with ITDS engineers

IT specialists from various IT fields take part in the process of software integration. That is why usually an entire team of employees is needed to conduct such an operation. Among them, the most common positions include software architects, programmers, testers, system administrators, and project managers.

As the integration of a system is usually a one-time operation, companies opt for acquiring external specialists. The recruitment process can often be tedious and, therefore, this competency is often entrusted to companies who outsource IT engineers on an everyday basis, such as ITDS.

Our IT experts include skilled consultants who have experience of working with various tools. Moreover, we are partners with providers of the most renowned software, among others from the finance industry, such as Murex, Colibra, and Temenos. The integration of IT systems conducted by a team of specialists provided by ITDS is carried out professionally, smoothly, and with attention to details.

The costs of software integration can be influenced by many factors. It hugely depends on whether the flow of data takes place from one system to another (one-way integration) or whether it goes both ways and on the resources themselves. The scale, level of complexity, amount of data, and time for migration are also significant factors to consider. Migration does not need to take place all at the same time, it can also take place in bigger time intervals.
